About the Harley-Davidson Road King

Overview

The Harley-Davidson Road King is a cruiser motorcycle from Harley-Davidson. It has been discontinued (production ended around 2023). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Cruisers are built for relaxed riding, typically with a low seat, a laid-back posture and an engine that pulls from low revs. With a 1,746 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 1,746 cc twin-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 84.2 PS at 5,020 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 3,250 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 3,250 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its stroke is longer than its bore (100 mm x 111.1 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 222 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 160 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a belt carries drive to the rear wheel.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a mild steel tubular frame. Suspension is by 49 mm dual bending valve forks at the front and premium standard height hand adjustable rear suspension at the rear. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch front and 16-inch rear cast aluminum wheels with tubeless tyres — 130/80-B17 at the front and 180/65-B16 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 705 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 379 kg ready to ride, which is heavy, so parking and tight U-turns need care. Ground clearance is 135 mm — low, so take speed breakers and steep ramps slowly. It is 2,450 mm long, with 1,625 mm between the axles. Its 22.7 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 18 kmpl work out to roughly 409 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console, cruise control and windscreen. Safety equipment includes low fuel indicator.

Owning one

The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years / Unlimited kms. For the Harley-Davidson Road King, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹13,999 doorstep service.

Who it suits

It is best suited to relaxed riding and unhurried weekend trips. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.

Care notes for this model

Its belt drive needs no lubrication, only periodic checks for wear and tension.

Maintaining the Harley-Davidson Road King

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc and Disc brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 130/80-B17 / 180/65-B16 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Harley-Davidson Road King specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed without you holding the throttle open, which reduces fatigue on longer, steady stretches.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
